25.01.2022 As you know, the short-sharp lockdown of Perth, Peel and the South West is due to end tomorrow evening at 6pm. As of 8pm tonight, I can confirm that we have recorded no new local cases of COVID-19. This is a remarkable achievement, and the credit belongs to each and every Western Australian. The short five-day lockdown has done the job it was designed to do to reassure us that we don’t have community spread of the virus....Continue reading

08.01.2022 From Mark McGowan The past two weeks has challenged us all. The snap 5-day lockdown, and our transitional restrictions this week, haven't been easy. But Western Australians have risen to the challenge doing the right thing, getting tested and making sure we prevent any community transmission of the virus.... It showed that our systems worked - and now we can get back to where we were. I can now confirm, based on the latest health advice and pending no new local cases, from midnight on Saturday night, the transitional restrictions will come to an end and we will revert back to where we were on the 30th of January. Only a few restrictions will apply, like the standard capacity rules, restrictions on remote Aboriginal communities, mandatory contact registration and of course, our Controlled Interstate Border. The wearing of masks will no longer be compulsory as of Sunday. I know it’s been annoying, but the response from everyone has been fantastic - thank you once again to everyone for doing their bit. But while we're winding back these restrictions, we need everyone keep up the COVID safe practices washing your hands, keeping a distance where possible, get tested when unwell and using SafeWA. Recent changes made to contact registers and SafeWA will continue to apply. When you go out, you need to sign in. It's simple, but as we've seen this week, it can make a huge difference. I also want to give a special acknowledgment to our dedicated health staff and WA Police Force. Our teams at health geared up and dealt with a significant increase in testing long hours, extra clinics they all did a brilliant job. And our Police did a brilliant job across our community, ensuring people were following the restrictions and providing an important community service. They also did a brilliant job manning nine checkpoints across the state, as part of the travel restrictions we had in force. To everyone who helped get our State through the last two weeks by doing the right thing, getting tested and following the rules - thank you so much. This result is a credit to every one of you.
